"Selig earned $14.5 million in fiscal 2005"
Bud's salary as commish in '05 was 50% of the Brewers entire team payroll in 2004.
I don't know why, but for some reason I'm finding this somewhat difficult to deal with. Brewer fans had to live with Bud's bargain basement mentality when he owned the team. Bud had no problems pinching pennies when they came out of his pocket but when it comes to his paycheck, the sky's the limit......
Maybe it's just me.

Nope. That is compensation paid to Bud by MLB. Nice huh!
I guess Bud's condemnation of baseball's escalating salaries is a player issue only.
I know his ties with the Brewers are in the past but hipocracy is hipocracy - regardless of timing. Paying big dollars for a quality team was a problem with Bud. Earning big dollars from baseball obviously isn't.

Car sales are OK it's just that Bud claims he has a small market dealership and can't be competitive with the big dealerships. That's why he is looking for public funding to build a new state of the art dealership with a retractable roof. He also wants to impliment revenue sharing to force the bigger dealerships to pay money to little dealerships like his.
He says that if he gets this new state of the art dealership then he can pay competitive wages and promises to bring a top flight dealership to the car customers of Milwaukee.
Sure sounds reasonable to me. I don't think Bud would bulls**t us on this do you?
